Congratualtions!\u00a0 You did it (almost).\u00a0 Just a few more hours and you can check this year off your list.\u00a0 Great job everyone.\u00a0 I hope you take advantage of the long weekend to celebrate a successful year and get ready for a well-deserved summer break.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FYI – this is the final Weekly Update of the year.\u00a0 Two years ago I promised to always get this out on a Thursday and I didn’t miss that target once! I came close a few time but 11:59 pm Thursday night is still Thursday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
See you all Wednesday at the BLAST luncheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Updates, Reminders, and Department Info\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A few things from Jackie Mueller – <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Standard Operating Procedure for School Holidays <\/strong>– Summertime holiday shutdowns are a great way to help conserve resources and save money. Please make sure all the staff see the Standard Operating Procedures for school holidays<\/strong><\/a>. Shutting down electronics can assist BLS in decreasing energy waste. Please see the attached District SOP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vanpool for the 23-24 school year – <\/strong>If you have staff that are currently or have been wanting to start a carpool to get to their schoolwork site, they might be interested in a FREE Vanpool with Commute with Enterprise. Through this program, staff are provided with a van, a gas card and gain time from their commute. This program has been established in the spring with Three Rivers and can expand to schools in the fall. Please see this flyer<\/strong><\/a> and if staff are interested, they should contact the sustainability coordinator Jackie.mueller@bend.k12.or.us <\/p>\n\n\n\n From Krista Baker <\/strong>– I wanted to let you know that we will be officially offering a CPI Crisis Prevention Intervention (restraint) training on Aug. 24th.\u00a0 The sign-up will be in UKG.\u00a0 This will be an all-day training. We invite all admin to attend.\u00a0 Can you please spread the word and put in your level blogs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n A Reminder from Kinsey – <\/strong>Please see the email from Kinsey this week about CFEE and Taking It Up. This training is a significant priority for our school board and district leadership team, and is the underpinning of the work we are doing around instruction, inclusion, and belonging. Be sure to sign up if applicable, and please forward it to your teachers ASAP<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ed Center Reminder <\/strong>– This is a reminder that the Education Center will be closed (locked) on Monday, June 19th<\/sup> in observance of Juneteenth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Red Zone – Things to definitely read, do, share, or put on your calendar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Summer Office Hours Sign<\/strong> – please print this sign<\/strong><\/a> and post it on your front doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From Sean re: Healthy Schools Family Letter Toolkit – <\/strong>The Healthy Schools team is going to develop a communication toolkit for schools this summer so schools can easily send letters to families on various health topics (think vaping, social media, substance use, etc.).\u00a0 We would like to collect ideas from you.\u00a0 What health topics would you like developed in the toolkit?\u00a0 What types of information do you want to communicate to families?\u00a0 Click here to take a quick 30 second survey<\/strong><\/a>. Thanks<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n A Bunch of Things from Human Resources\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Temporary Employees – Very Important – <\/strong>HR will not be shutting down access to BLS email and UKG for temporary employees whose temp contracts end on June 30th. In order to give those employees the ability to apply for open positions and allow admin to communicate with those temporary staff about interview invitations, we are keeping those accounts open until August 18. We will close them on the 8\/18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n FTE List Reminder<\/strong> – Each school received an email from Trish Uhart on May 5th<\/sup> with the subject line 2023-24 Certified FTE lists. Please read and respond to that email no later than June 23rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Updating Staff Assignments for 2023-24 – <\/strong>Members of our HR team are holding an optional meeting with Office Managers on Tuesday, June 20th, from 12:00 – 2 pm at the Ed Center to review how to update staffing assignments through UKG. Lunch will be provided and this session is highly recommended for office managers who are still getting used to the HRIS module and HR Actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n UKG’s Learning Platform – <\/strong>Performance Matters will be going away at the end of June, this year and replaced by UKG’s Learning platform. This means that anyone that wishes to pull their transcript data or certificates of completion for courses taken will need to do so BEFORE June 30, 2023. Go into your Performance Matters<\/a> account -> MyCourses (at the top toolbar) -> My Transcript. If you want a sneak peek into the Learning module, here<\/a> is a video overview of it. More information will be shared in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ICCL Hiring<\/strong> – Don’t forget to request to hire your ICCL candidates through UKG<\/p>\n\n\n\n Calendar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n And Finally\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Since this is the last Weekly Update I will ever send I thought about ending things with some heartfelt and profound words of wisdom. That thought lasted for about 5 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For those of you at the final Elementary Horizontal meeting of the year what does this <\/strong><\/a>remind you of?\u00a0 Love you Tammy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Congratualtions!\u00a0 You did it (almost).\u00a0 Just a few more hours and you can check this year off your list.\u00a0 Great job everyone.\u00a0 I hope you take advantage of the long weekend to celebrate a successful year and get ready for Continue reading June 15, 2016<\/span>
